To count the number of valence electrons we look at the electronic configuration and add the electrons form the electronic shell with the highest principal quantum number.
Rb: [Kr] 5s¹ - 1 valence electron
Xe: [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁶ - 8 valence electrons
Sb: [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p³ - 5 valence electrons
I: [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁵ - 7 valence electrons
In: [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p¹ - 3 valence electrons
Rank from most to fewest valence electrons:
Xe > I > Sb > In > Rb
Answer:
A wave transfers energy through a medium or empty space without transporting matter.
Explanation:
- A wave is a transmission of a disturbance from one point known as the source to another.
- Waves may transfer energy through a material medium or a vacuum without transporting matter.
- Waves that transfer energy from one point to another through a material medium are known as mechanical waves.
- Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, are those that do not require a material medium for transmission, the transfer of energy is through a vacuum.
- Waves can also be either transverse or longitudinal waves based on the vibration of particles relative to the direction of wave motion.
Answer:
15.89grams
Explanation:
The mass of a substance can be calculated from it's mole value by using the formula:
mole = mass/molar mass
According to this question, there are 0.250 moles of copper. Hence, the mass of copper can be calculated as follows:
Molar mass of Cu = 63.55g/mol
0.250 = mass/63.55
mass = 0.250 × 63.55
mass = 15.8875
Mass of Cu in 0.250mol is 15.89grams.
